Jobe's Organics Granular Garden Fertilizer | For Vegetables & Tomatoes | 4 lbs Bag | Pack of 2

I'm very pleased with this organic fertilizer. It's a 2-5-3 formulation that is excellent for a wide range of vegetables. I augment it with fish fertilizer for veggies that need a nitrogen boost (such as leafy greens) but for everything else, this works very well. It's granular and easy to work into the ground (or pot/raised bed). As with any organic fertilizer there's a noticeable odor, but it's not bad at all. It's derived from bone meal, poultry manure and sulfate of potash. It also provides a good assortment of bacteria and fungi species to build and maintain a healthy soil environment. It is made in the USA. I've been a Jobes user for years and none of their products have ever fallen short of expectations. This is no exception -- five stars.

Fantastic fertilizer but not consistent with the odor, sometimes no smell and other times terrible rotting smell. It works so well I can almost forget the stink.

I got my package of Jobe's Organics fertilizer today. Unfortunately, after reading instructions on package where it says, in part, "do not feed to animals".....I cannot use it. I have several friendly squirrels who like to dig in my containers where I grow my tomatoes, green beans, etc. It's something I deal with each year. They are pesty but I love them so I may need to do without fertilizer. I'm sure its a wonderful fertilizer. I just prefer to not use it because of my own personal reasons. I'm not sure Amazon will accept this review.

As someone who loves fresh veggies but doesn't always have the time or skill for meticulous gardening, I was intrigued by Jobe's Organics 09026 Fertilizer. Its organic claims and promises of fast-acting results seemed too good to be true, so I put it to the test in my tomato patch. Here's the dirt: The Good: Organic Bounty: This fertilizer is OMRI-listed, meaning it's certified organic and free of synthetic chemicals. My veggies grew happily without any worries about harsh additives. Speedy Sprout: Jobe's Biozome, a blend of beneficial microbes, definitely lived up to its name. My tomato plants flourished within weeks, with noticeably more vibrant leaves and earlier fruit production. Drought Defender: Even during a surprise heatwave, my tomato plants held strong. The improved soil conditions thanks to the Biozome seemed to help them retain moisture and weather the dry spell. Pest Patrol: While not a magic bullet, I noticed a decrease in insect activity compared to previous years. The healthier plants seemed less appealing to hungry bugs, which gave me some peace of mind. Convenient Caddy: The resealable bag makes it easy to store and use the fertilizer. No more messy spills or lost product! The Not-So-Good: Potent Aroma: Some reviewers mentioned an unpleasant odor. While I didn't find it unbearable, it's definitely noticeable, especially right after application. Be prepared for a whiff of earthy funk. Mystery Microbes: The exact composition of Jobe's Biozome isn't readily available. While it seems effective, knowing more about the specific microbes involved would be reassuring for some gardeners. Not for Indoor Use: This fertilizer isn't meant for indoor plants. So, if you're hoping to boost your houseplant jungle, you'll need to find a different formula. Overall: If you're looking for an organic and fast-acting fertilizer to give your veggie garden a boost, Jobe's Organics 09026 is a great option. The Biozome technology truly seems to work, leading to healthier plants and earlier harvests. Just be prepared for the earthy aroma and the lack of detailed information about the microbes at play. Happy gardening!

I use this every year on my tomatoes, green beans, eggplants, and various other veggies. Very delicious tomatoes with very little vegetation to remove.

Feeds up to 3 weeks

Always good and I don't use anything else, great buy!

It is very stinky. But helps tremendously with everything. The leaves of all my veggies and tomatoes were yellow. The next day leaves were green, and not even a week later they have grown immensely. So far worth it. Coming back a month later: it’s worth it. Mine have more than tripled in size and have flowered so much. Over 30 tomatoes and cucumbers on just a couple plants. I will see what the veggies look like when they are done.
